Lets see if I am following the same procedure 1. ASP.net running, inbuilt server not running, page is loaded in editor 2. Click View/Start 3. inbuilt server starts up, clutters the screen with advertising, ..... 4. I go get a cofee 5. The page is loaded in IE on top of the last page I was using (regardless of whether I was using the page) 6. close IE - all instances 7. altTab back to ASP IDE 8. clisk View/Start again IE just opens and shows the page, fairly quickly. No messages, no dialogs. Web matrix server is running on port 8080, using a generic subdir in My Documents as physical path, "/" as root. Root url used is localhost, not a nodename ASP.net is ver 0.5 build 464 Technology preview .net framework is 1.1.4322.573 IIS is running v5.1 configured for ASP.net as ISAPI filter, Cant think of any other config info that might help. I've gotta go out now, will be back in 5-6 hours if you need any more info Bruce -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jcolby at colbyconsulting.com Sent: Tuesday, 29 July 2003 11:34 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: ASP.Net editor >I have not suffered the same problem as you with the inbuilt server >though? If you run the page, then close the resulting page and run it again you don't get a message (from WM)? Whenever I click the "start" button, a dialog pops up asking me to "start a web application in the given virtual directory" etc. The FIRST time, it starts the server. The second time, the server is already started (and visible in the toolbar). This dialog then proceeds to tell me that it is already started. Which begs the question why the dialog opens to begin with (the second time). How do I "run" the page? Maybe the "start" command is the wrong thing to do? John W.

I have found that Dreamweaver MX gave me the best ablity to "look under the hood". I too, have both WM and VS tools and have felt exactly the same - too powerful to enable a good understanding of the basics. I have not suffered the same problem as you with the inbuilt server though? Install Problems again??? I am currently looking for alternative tools, considering Kylix ( am I raving mad?), considering other Linux based tools ( definitely stark raving mad! ) Sorry I cant give you any help on the specific problem.

I have the ASP.Net Web Matrix widget from M$ site, and I also have Visual Studio.net with ASP.Net (I guess, at least the ability to create web pages from it). My main problem with VS.net is that it doesn't do things the easy way, rather creating an entire slew of directories and files for any "project" that you create. While this may eventually be a good thing, at the moment it simply obscures what I am trying to do. OTOH it is very powerful with built in wizards to do things like help me hook up to data etc. and (for those used to it) intellisense. Web Matrix OTOH can work with a single page, creating things drag and drop. No intellisense (AFAICT) and few if any wizards but a nice drag and drop environment none the less. To be quite honest, my biggest problem with that is I haven't figured out how to get it to NOT attempt to start a new copy of it's built-in web server when one is already open. When you run a page to test it, it opens it's built in web server. If it's already open, it tells you that the server is already open. I have to go close it, then run the page again. Does anyone know how to get the Web Matrix not to remind me that the server is open and just use it (or close it for me) automatically? Are there any other recommendations for programming environments for ASP.Net? John W.
